Soap fan favorite Sarah Brown will soon make her highly-anticipated Days of Our Lives debut on October 4. In an interview with We Love Soaps she talks about her new character Madison, weighs in on the end of All My Children and previews Madison’s dynamic with Brady (Eric Martsolf).

WE LOVE SOAPS TV: Is there anything you can preview for us about Madison's storyline? I hear there's a little work, and a little play?

Sarah Brown: There's a lot of play! [She laughs] A lot of work... and let's say, in the beginning, the work and play meld together really naturally and perfectly. As time goes on, things begin to get a little more complicated in the working environment because of the attraction between Madison and Brady. At first, it's just something nobody talks about. It then becomes a giant, pink elephant in the room that we have to talk about. And it causes some friction between them...and some good friction.

Good Day LA was on the set of Days of Our Lives to cover the soap opera's big, September festivities and managed to run into a couple of not-so-newbies to the TV game. General Hospital superstar Sarah Brown, who was recently cast in the serial as mogulette Madison James and talk show host Nate Berkus—who is making a cameo—were both on hand, as well as DAYS' leading lady Alison Sweeney, Eric Martsolf and Lauren Koslow. I must admit, all these Salem Fall Fest teases are starting to get me pumped about DAYS again. Check out the fun interview after the jump!

Eric Martsolf (Brady Black, Days of Our Lives) debuted as superhero Booster Gold on Smallville this past Friday. The actor also talked to TV Line about his role and the current state of soaps:

Daytime has been my bread-and-butter for over nine years now, so it’s a big part of my life.I have the utmost faith in the choices I made and the work that I’m doing. People say that the soap genre is going away, and in my humble opinion I don’t believe it is. I think this is the result of networks doing some penny-pinching and trying to put in cheaper programming. In the long run, they’re going to find that canceling these soaps that have been around for decades is probably not a wise move. It looks good on paper, but the fan bases of these soap operas rival those of primetime shows.

A Passions reunion of sorts will take place at ACME Comedy Theatre tonight in Los Angeles. Days of Our Lives star Eric Martsolf, who played Ethan on the campy serial, will be appearing in ACME's Celebrity Improv Mashup with The Bay's Jade Harlow, who once played Ethan's half sister Jessica. I caught up with the pair separately to dish their upcoming comedic adventures and  their respective sudsers. First up is Martsolf!

Daytime Confidential:  You're like an ACME Comedy legend at this point! Are you pumped to be doing Celebrity Improv Mashup?

Eric Martsolf: A legend in my own mind!  Plain and simple, whenever the ACME group invites me to come and play with them, I have a hard time saying no.  I think comedy and the timing it requires is the most difficult challenge out there for actors, and I love freakin' challenges!

DC: You're reuniting with your former Passions costar Jade Harlow. Will you guys be spoofing the ultimate soap spoof?

EM: Actually, Jade and I, who were siblings on the show, never worked together on Passions. I believe I joined the cast only weeks after she left the program.  Spoofing Passions just seems so darn easy, doesn't it ? That's like trying to spoof the classic Airplane movie!

DC: On DAYS you're in the middle  of a pretty intense storyline with Brady snatching Titan from his grandfather Victor. What's it like playing out those emotionally-charged scenes with John Aniston?

EM: John Aniston is secretly the funniest man on the face of the earth...I'm not kidding.  The man has the driest delivery. It's simply an untapped treasure.  But when it comes time to lay down the law with Brady, he can bring it.

DC: Brady took a really dark recently, burying wacko Vivian alive. Were you worried it would be hard for the character to come back from that?
EM:I've been concerned that he would come back from that.  I enjoy the dark turn and believe the possibilities for the character to flourish under such circumstances is great.  I want Brady Black to make Tony Montana from Scarface look like a puppy dog.

DC:Brady doesn't really have a clearly-defined leading lady right now. Who would you like to see him paired with?

EM: Anyone on the show who he is not related to, is breathing and currently on contract!  Beggars can't be choosers. READ MORE
